National Forest Service Road 595-2. There are so many different ways of 
abbreviating this, and I'm not sure which expansion is most correct, so 
I'd leave these alone.

One thing you won't find much of in Florida (since I've fixed most) is 
abbreviations of County Road/Route/Highway. Stranger ones include Creek 
(bad expansion of Cr, abbreviation for County Road) and Cord (typo for 
Co Rd). Both of these originate with TIGER, not subsequent expansions:
